Before you choose a spot
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:
- Distance from houses and windows
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
In Colindale, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. Late-September events in Colindale see sunset at about 7:05pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:55pm.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

Your questions about food truck hire in Colindale
Is parking a problem for events in Colindale?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Which station is closest to Colindale?
Hendon station, about 1 mile south-east of the centre.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
How spicy is the food?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Send us a picture of the access and the space, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
